As documented by Jonathan Mabiala

I joined Rhesus Inc. in 2019 as a network engineer. I joined my current company, Desjardins, in July last year as a SAS administrator, hoping to become a programmer 

With my background in programming, I believed I knew a little about everything. But I aimed to know about everything in the programming world. That led me to Simplilearn’s Full Stack Java Developer online course. I thought it would help me change my career, so I took the course last year.

After completing the course, I gained in-depth knowledge, which helped me take a leap and change my domain. Desjardins recognized my new certification, and I joined the programming team as a Java software developer.

An inquisitive upbringing

I have been to many countries since childhood because my father wanted me to see the world for myself. I also was educated abroad and received a bachelor’s degree in engineering from the University of Maine. 

I started programming websites on a freelance basis as a college student. Also, I started teaching programming to my interested friends. I realized the importance of upskilling early and started teaching myself programming, and I learned Java, PHP, and other languages independently.

My work has also taken me to many places. I settled in Quebec, Canada, in 2019 with my family, mainly because of the calm surroundings and the peace of mind the country offers.

It stands to reason that, the more skills you have, the more job positions you qualify for. And the more job positions you qualify for, the more control and choices you have over where you work. A healthy skill set means more options all around, which leads to greater job satisfaction and a happier home life.

That’s what I discovered during my experience finding the best IT job that gave me the ideal work-home balance I was looking for. Fortunately, Simplilearn gave me the advantages I needed, especially with their Cloud Architect Master’s Program.

A Bit About My Background

I am an IT professional with almost 15 years of related experience, which I’ve always tried to supplement by upskilling myself to stay current with the never-ending parade of new technologies.

There were not many IT opportunities in the Philippines, my native country, so in 2008 I moved to Saudi Arabia for IT-related work. I worked in Saudi Arabia for almost 14 years with a series of IT companies. I missed my family and my home and wanted to move back to the Philippines, but the job choices were limited.

The Challenge: Qualifying for a Better Job Closer to Home

If I wanted to work closer to home, I’d have to ensure that I was qualified for the right positions. As I mentioned before, I always made a good effort at upskilling and keeping up with new IT innovations. I knew there were ample opportunities in the field of cloud computing. I was working in a similar field and yes, I was in touch with cloud technology.

But I realized that it wasn’t enough. I needed a streamlined course that could effectively increase my cloud-related skill set. I was also on the lookout for better opportunities. I really wanted to get a good IT position closer to home.

All I needed was a step in the right direction, and that’s where Simplilearn came into the picture.

I’ve learned that no matter what a person’s profession, earning a PMP® Certification from Simplilearn furnishes a project management professional with the organizational strategies needed for success. 

Ten years ago, I stepped into an IT leadership role as a program manager with the Canadian Police Department in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The one stipulation for this promotion was that I attain a PMP certification. The job had a lot of responsibilities, including managing our 911 system.

I had a short timeframe to get certified and started using a different online learning company. My experience with that other firm was awful, and I couldn’t get through a single unit without issues. Finally, I found Simplilearn’s PMP Certification Training Course, which helped me tremendously.

The skills I acquired from Simplilearn’s course have proven to be a great help because I learned how to streamline processes after completing the course. After completing the course, I was able to understand the status of projects clearly, and I was also able to make recommendations much more quickly, which my peers were unable to do.  

I chose to retire early from the police department, and I now teach people how to find early financial freedom and create generational wealth. The knowledge I  acquired from Simplilearn is helping a lot in my new venture. I am planning a conference this year, and the project management skills I gained will come into play.

It’s Never too Late to Upskill

I have 20 years of database experience and a bachelor’s degree in co-op electrical engineering from the University of Alberta. When I moved into leadership about 10 years ago, the other employees looked to me to provide project direction. This was when my experience with Simplilearn proved to be invaluable. I have worked on projects my entire career, but the skills I acquired while taking Simplilearn’s PMP Certification course gave me the talent to help the project managers who reported to me or worked with me. I could also uncover potential issues if employees tried to slide things past me. 

Simplilearn’s course was exactly what I needed: it was comprehensive, well laid out, and well-structured. The trainers were excellent, and the study notes were outstanding. Of all the course features offered by Simplilearn, I think the study guides helped me the most.

As documented by Rafael Andres Canelon

There are many different reasons people decide to change careers. For me, I wanted to change my lifestyle as it related to my work schedule. With a bachelor’s degree in geomatics engineering and nearly eight years of experience in the geomatics field, I found myself in a job that involved extensive traveling. As I considered my options, I became interested in programming and automation because the industry is fast-moving with ample opportunities for career growth.

I’d been working for Airborne Imaging in the same position, as a geomatics field technician associate, for four years when I began looking for a course to prepare me for the career change I desired. While I had an engineering degree, it was in no way related to programming, and I didn’t have any other prior experience as such. I decided to study DevOps because it’s the perfect blend of programming and operational automation that today’s most successful development teams. 

Simplilearn’s Post Graduate Program (PGP) in DevOps was the launching pad for my programming career. After the course, I was hired by Xplornet Communications in November 2021 as a GIS developer and increased my salary by 12 percent. Even better, I get to use the valuable programming and automation skills I learned every day in my job.

I really enjoyed the DevOps course. The modules provided enough information and instruction even for someone like me with no prior knowledge and who was changing fields. Another highlight was the hands-on Docker certification training I received during the program. 

Upskilling Options that Offer the Right Skills and Schedule

I researched various options to find a course that would offer me virtual classes but at the same time prepare me for a new career. I found Simplilearn through one of its Instagram advertisements and was very happy to find a curriculum I wanted and an online learning option that fit my schedule. 

I also knew that my brother Manuel was looking for something similar, so we read more about the curriculum and thought it would be a great fit. Then, we decided to enroll in the program together.  

As I mentioned, my previous job at Airborne Imaging involved a lot of traveling. So, I studied while traveling. My job was weather dependent, which meant we didn’t fly on cloudy or rainy days. We also had our rotation schedule—30 straight days of working and then 30 off days. The flexibility of the certification program allowed me to study on those 30 days off-days and take live online classes during weekends.

Today’s technological innovations arrive at a breathtaking pace, and if you want to stay relevant and employable, you need to keep up. It also helps to stay current if you’re planning on tackling a new career. That’s where upskilling comes in. When you upskill, you build upon your current skillset with new knowledge.

But there are so many available avenues for upskilling. Perhaps too many! How does one make the right choice?

As it happens, I made the right choice when I picked Simplilearn’s Cloud Computing program. But in order for you to get a good idea of how I arrived at this choice, let me tell you a little bit about myself.

My Background

I’m a Product Manager from Mumbai, with over 13 years of experience, with a Master of Computer Applications (MCA) in Computer Science from the School of Computer Science, DAVV. I also completed a Post Graduate Program in Management, Business Administration and Management, General from Sunstone Business School.

I had already used Simplilearn before for training. I took their PMI-ACP Certification Training Course and had a good experience with it. I was impressed with how they acted quickly to resolve any issues I raised, and they provided all the assistance I needed. So yes, I already was leaning favorably towards Simplilearn, and with good reason!

As documented by Joanna Pritchard

In 2020, I was laid off from my IT job in the hospitality industry when COVID hit. Instead of treading water, I used unemployment as an opportunity to learn and transform my career. I chose Simplilearn’s online courses in ITIL® 4 Foundation, Agile Scrum Master, and PRINCE2® Foundation, which opened up new employment possibilities. For example, from the first moment I added a new certification to my resume, I began getting replies to my applications, which soon led to a new job. Today I work as a technical account manager for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) with HRS (Hospitality & Retail Systems) in Düsseldorf, Germany.

My new employer was impressed that I was enrolled in the PRINCE2® Foundation course, and they gave me time to complete it during my orientation period. The entire experience of being laid off and focusing on learning ended up being a career restart for me.

Making a Career Move

Before the layoff, I had contemplated making a career change after 15 years in the hospitality industry. I earned an MBA in hospitality administration from Cornell University and a Master of Arts from Silesian University. While I genuinely enjoyed working with the IT team at Hyatt Hotels Corporation, I thought of expanding my practical knowledge with theory. My first goal was to gain an ITIL certification. When I was laid off after COVID hit in 2020, I had the time and extra motivation to upskill my portfolio.  

I found many platforms offering courses, but I chose Simplilearn because it had exam practice tests, and I found the sample lessons to be of good quality. Moreover, when I asked questions about the courses and the price, I found Simplilearn competitive.
